Syaoran: *Sarcasm* Sure you are!
Fordina: I am!! And I'm SO happy that I figured out a title for this fic!!! ^o^
Syaoran: Why did it take you so long to get this up?
Fordina: *Sigh* Because… I'm having SO much trouble with this one… I cannot figure out where it is going!!!
Syaoran: And yet you still decided to put it up.
Fordina: Yes… Because I wanted to put up a fic that was all about you!
Syaoran: *Blush*
Fordina: And I'm sorry if there are any confusion parts… This is my first fic that is JUST CCS… And even though I know like… Almost everything about the show… I'm still having trouble getting into writing this fic… Maybe once I'm done "A Year To Remember" I'll be able to concentrate more on it… Who knows… Certainly not me that's for sure!!
Syaoran: Can you just get on with the story?!
Fordina: All right, all right… Calm down…

Over at the Kinomoto household Sakura was just finishing up some housework, when she heard a loud yell from her room. she ran quickly up stairs to see what was the matter only to find Kero playing a video game.
"Kero! What's with all the screaming?" She asked walking over to the tiny beast.
"Yeah! Final level! Woo who!" He cried. Sakura, getting a bit frustrated with being ignored walked over to her TV and pulled the plug. Kero's face soon turned to that of disbelief.
"Sakura, Sakura! Why did you do that?! I was in the final level!" Kero yelled.
"You weren't paying attention to me! I needed some way to get your mind of that stupid game!" Sakura yelled back.
"But I was in the FINAL LEVEL!!" Kero cried once again.
"I don't care!" Sakura exclaimed and was about to say more when she heard the front door open. "You stay here!" She still had not told her father and brother about Kero, Yue, or the cards… she was planning on telling them… but not until the right moment comes along.
"Sakura! I'm home! And I have something I need to show you!" Dr. Kinomoto called. Sakura came running down the stairs.
"What did you want to show me Otou-san, Wha?!" Sakura cried as she saw a young boy in her father's arms... well not young, her age, maybe a bit younger. "Tou-san, who's that?"
"Sakura, I would like you to meet Syaoran," (A/N: Okay why does he have two names? Even though they are the same name…. But they don't know that his name is Xiao-Lang… so they had to call him something else… and I thought this was easier!! ^o~ Syaoran: You're just lazy… Fordina: You hush! Syaoran: Don't deny the truth. Fordina: *Sigh*) Xiao-Lang looked up, he'd waken on the ride over. "Syaoran this is Sakura, my daughter," Fujitaka said as he placed Xiao-Lang down on the couch.
"Okay, but what is he doing here?" Sakura asked following her father into the living room.
"Yukito found him by the river bank, we don't know what happened to him but his spinal cord was broken in two places and his vocal cord well crushed as well," Fujitaka told her.
"Oh wow, that's so sad," Sakura said as she walked up to Xiao-Lang, "Hi," She said kneeling down in front of him. "I'm Sakura, it's nice to meet you," She said holding out her hand. Xiao-Lang not knowing what to do just looked at her hand.
'What does it expect me to do?' Xiao-Lang asked himself. Sighing in defeat Sakura put her hand down.
"Okay… are you hungry? You know eat?" Sakura asked making hand movement to make sure he understood.
Xiao-Lang nodded finally understanding somewhat this thing was asking it….
"Okay, I'll go get you some food. So don't go anywhere…. Oh, I guess you wouldn't be able to any ways huh? Well I'll just go get that food," Sakura stuttered. Xiao-Lang looked at her curiously.
'This thing is very odd…. And confusing…. But also quite interesting… I've never seen anything quite like it….' Xiao-Lang thought as he watched Sakura go off into the kitchen.
In the kitchen Sakura walked in and saw he father on the phone.
"Alright…. Yes…. I'll be right there…. Okay…. Bye," He said as he hung up.
"What was that all about Otou-san?" Sakura asked walking over to the cupboard where she got a plate then proceeded to fill it with cookies.
"My work… I have to go back, can you look after Syaoran?"
"Of course! When do you think you'll be back?"
"Late, seems we're short on staff today and my leaving early didn't help."
"No problem Otou-san! I'll take good care of him!"
"Thank you Sakura," Dr. Kinomoto said as he walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Now Syaoran," Fujitaka said kneeling down to Xiao-Lang's height from where he was lying on the couch. For reasons unknown to him Xiao-Lang looked at him when he said 'Syaoran'. "I have to leave for a little while. So Sakura is going to take care of you alright?" Not knowing what else to do Xiao-Lang just nodded. "Good," With that Fujitaka got up and walked over to where his briefcase was and headed over to the door. "I'll be back soon Sakura!" He cried as he closed the door.
Sakura, who had finished getting some cookies for herself and Syaoran, was now walking back towards the living room. Kneeling in front of him she took a cookie from the plate and handed it to Xiao-Lang.
"Here," She said as he took it from her hand.
He studied it for a moment, 'Hmm… What is this?' He asked himself. And after much debate took a small bite. Chewing slowly he finally swallowed. 'This isn't bad…. I wonder what it is…' Only he couldn't ask. Knowing that he couldn't was only making him mad. 'Why did this happen to me?!' He screamed in his mind, knowing that no matter how much he did so he would never be heard.
Seeing the tension in his face Sakura put a reassuring on his shoulder.
Feeling something on him Xiao-Lang looked at the hand on his shoulder then looked at the owner. 'What does it want from me?' He asked silently. He turned suddenly at the sound of some sort of bell.
"That's the doorbell. I'll be right back, don't go anywhere," She told him forgetting that he can't go anywhere. Walking over to the door Sakura opened it to a very friendly face. "Yuki!" She cried as she ushered him inside.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan," He said is his usual cheery voice.
"Yukito, what brings you here? Onii-chan is at work, and Otou-san just left as well," Sakura asked confused. (A/N: Syaoran: But isn't she always confused? Fordina: Yeah but now she's a bit more confused then usual… Syaoran: Oh…)
"I came to visit our new friend," He told her simply. Sakura stared at him oddly until she remembered the boy in the living room.
"Oh! Syaoran-kun!" Sakura cried. "I almost forgot you were the one that found him ne?"
Yukito nodded. "Hai. I was fishing when I saw him."
Sakura nodded. "Hai I remember 'Tou-san saying that I think…" She scrunched up her face to try and remember. "He's in the living room," Sakura said as they entered the living room.
Sensing other presence Xiao-Lang looked up to see 'Sakura' and the thing with silver hair enter.
"Konnichiwa," The silver hair being greeted. "Do you remember me?" Xiao-Lang nodded in recognition. The silver hair being smiled. "My name is Yukito," He said as he reached out his hand.
Again Xiao-Lang just looked at it.
"He won't shake it… I tried. I don't think he knows what to do," Sakura informed him. Yukito nodded and put his hand in Xiao-Lang's and shook it. Xiao-Lang stared at him. What was it doing?!
Taking his hand back quickly Xiao-Lang stared at Yukito.
"Don't worry… I wasn't going to hurt you. It's a way of greeting," Yukito told him. Xiao-Lang looked at him confused.
'Greeting? What is this thing talking about?!' Xiao-Lang yelled in his head.
Yukito sighed. "This is going to take longer then I thought…" He said more to himself then to Sakura.
"I know… And since he can't talk… Well that makes it even worse…" Sakura said.
Yukito nodded. "I know… Ano… Syaoran-kun? Do you want to go outside?" He asked.
'Outside… I'd rather be there then here…' Xiao-Lang thought. Slowly he nodded his head. Knowing that some how they would understand.
Yukito smiled. "Great! Oh… Wait…" He paused. "Sakura-chan?" She looked at him. "Did you Kinomoto-san bring home a wheelchair?" He asked.
Thinking back to when her father first came in she sighed and shook her head no. "Iie… He just carried him in… If he did have one then he didn't being it inside…" Sakura told him.
"And I didn't see one outside…" Yukito shook his head. "Then I guess going outside is out of the question…"
Xiao-Lang was looking at them with curiosity. 'These… things… are so very interesting… Perhaps… I could trust them… They don't seem like they want to hurt me… At least I hope not…' As if hearing his thoughts Yukito turned back to him.
"Gomen nasai Syaoran-kun… Seems like you won't be able to go outside after all… Unless one of us carries you… And I don't think you would want that…" Yukito told him.
Xiao-Lang looked at him, trying to comprehend what he was telling him. As if to make an effort to speak Xiao-Lang opened his month to speak, but only a soft squeaking sound came out. Frustrated to no end Xiao-Lang lifted his hands and proceeded to hit his legs in order to make them work again.
Seeing this Yukito grabbed his hands and held onto them tightly. "No, Syaoran don't do that…" Xiao-Lang looked at him confused. "I know you want to walk…" He sighed. "But you can't," Yukito put one hand on Xiao-Lang's leg. "Can you feel this?" Yukito asked as he pinched Xiao-Lang's leg. Xiao- Lang didn't even flinch. Just continued to stare at the silver haired creature. "I didn't think so… I know this is hard to understand… and I don't even know if you can understand what I'm saying right now… But you can't walk… You'll probably never be able to walk again… Do you understand?" Yukito asked. Xiao-Lang just continued to stare at him. Yukito and Sakura sighed.
"It's no use… He doesn't understand… And I don't think he ever will…" Sakura told him.
Yukito nodded. "I know… It's just that… I want him to… And hopefully one day… Maybe he will…"
